What does SGA do?
One of the most important and evident functions of SGA is funding the 30+ student organizations on campus. Chances are that you belong to at least one organization that SGA funds and many of the activities on campus that are sponsored by student groups are funded by the money that comes from your Student Government Program Fee.
SGA also funds campus improvements that help students. Some of these include the floor in Albrecht Lounge, couches in the undercroft, new furniture in the Lower HE Commuter Lounge, and many other small items for students.
In addition to spending money, SGA also looks to ensure that students are represented and have a voice on campus. The President of SGA sits on the University Administrative Council and Resident Senators work closely with Residence Life and the RAs to make sure that hall needs are being met. Commuter Senators work with the University to make sure that the needs of commuter students are seen and heard.
